Job Opportunity: Project Manager for the ERC Advanced Grant 2020 AGRELITA

The ERC Advanced grant project AGRELITA “The reception of ancient Greece in premodern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550): how

Project Manager (100%), starting on 01/10/21.

AGRELITA is based at the University of Lille and funded for five years by the ERC

About the Project

Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in Pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Ancient Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek’s teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. AGRELITA will study a large corpus of French-language literary works produced from the 1320s to the 1550s in France and Europe, as well as the images offered by their manuscripts and printed books.
